A further shorp rise took place early in the day under the stimulus of stronger cables from Liverpool than expected, continued unfavorable weather In Texas, active buying commission houses for outside accounts, buying by prominent southern interests, New Orleans and Wall street buying and covering of shorts. Liverpool bought here, the thraten ed strike at Manchester having avoided and some of the private dispatches received from 'the English market were more bullish than for some time past.

C. Tyree, D. pastor of the First Baptist church, thoroughly enjoyed his European trip and the sessions of the World's Baptist Congress, which he attended In London, but southern Baptists from: the United States by no means approved of all the ways and methods of their English brethren. The negroes in attendance were simply lionized. Dr.

Tyree and Rev. Jno. E. White of Atlanta Tooth say that the Englishmen regarded tne negroes almost as curiosities. The negro, repr-sentatives from the south were entertained in their homes, delivered addresses from the took part In the discussions and the colored preachers' occupied pulpits in the Liondon churches on Sunday.

"Five years hence when the congress meets in Washington city," said Rev. John B. White, will change the notions of our EngliSh friends." PRISON'S Only 25 Years Old and Serving Fifth Term Eddie Watts' Aim in Lie Has Here-tofore Been to Break Into Prison but Never to Get OutHas He Been Kidnapped The cook at the penitentiary Is gone. Whether he has been mysteriously kidnapped, abducted or lured away by some northern employment bureau is unknown, but the fact is established that he did not appear in his accustomed cell last night. The history of this remarkable cook lends weight to the theory that some outside individual or individuals spirited him over the prison stockade and off to parts unknown.

This explanation is not accepted, by the prison authori ties, but even. they admit that only a powerful influence, as yet not conjectured, could have borne their faithful cook from them. Ed. Watts was his name and he can perhaps barely remember the day when he did not wear the convict garb. His age is only 25 years, yet until last night he was serving his fifth term in the state prison.

He came there first as a small boy and was placed in the kitchen, where he learned the art, was steadily advanced as he returned, after brief intermissions, to serve successive terms until his presence ass head cook had become almost indispensable. Never once did he show the slightest desire to escape, but on the contrary he, has, whenever discharged, display a determination to again break into the stockage and he has always succeeded. Last night he prepared, the repast for his fellow convicts, then strolled out to the chicken coop. That was the last seen of Eddie. The guards, with the exception of c-ne, had been called in from the stockade, and lights wer out.

He may have managed to scale the walls. Superintendent Mann at nearly midnight issued this statement: "Ed Wa.tts, alight ginger-cake colored negro (a (mulatto) about twenty-five years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, weighing about 150 pounds, having brown eyes black hair, a cook, escaped- from the central prison today (August 18, 1905.) He was sent here from Halifax couhty for a term of seven years for burglary, this being his fourth term of Imprisonment, having been sent here twice from Catawba and twice from Halifax county. "For his arrest we will pay a reward of $25.00 and all necessary expenses."

COOK GONE Lawyer Roasts Massachusetts South Carolina Young White Man Guilty of Bea ing His Mother His Plea Waa IntoxicationTest 9 O'clock Reg." ulation Police Justice Thomas Badger holds that the city ordinance prohibiting in engaged hacks on the streets after nin o'clock is constitutional and a test casa will be taken to the supreme court.

This was the outcome of the trial yesterday "pt Ed. Cooper, a colored Hack- man, lui vioutung tne ordinance forbidding hacks on the street after 9 p. m. It was the first arrest since the board made this regulation, so a number 'of hackmen employed Col. J.

C. L. Harris to make a test case. The legality of the ordinance was upheld by City Attorney W. B.

Snow in a strong argument, in which he cited opinions from many states to the effect that the board could pass an ordinance of this kind. Col. Harris delivered an impassioned and eloquent speech, arguing that the ordinance is not legal for the reasons that It is unreasonable, it deprives men of their rights and it is partial in that it Is detrimental to some parties engaged in lawful business and to the advantage of others in the same business. "My heavens," exolaimed the qplonel, "that decision Brother Snow read was from the state of Massachusetts. Why, Massachusetts is about on par with South Carolina, The people ought to have dug a ditch around both Massachusetts and South Carolina lohgj ago and pushed them into the Atlantic ocean.

We would have been better Off without ether of them. If It hadn't been for these two states we would not have had the civil war. If Massachusetts? hurl nnt mnrlA tho TTnlt States stop the war of 1812 then wa would have gone ahead and taken Canada from England and that greal country' would now be -a part of this nation as it Ought by rights to be. Then Massachusetts made us stop the Mexican war in the 'forties, and if she hadn't have done that then tl 5re would be no Mexican government today and the glorious stars and stripes would float over this great continent. I tell your honor, Massachusetts and South Carolina are the worst states in the union and we could mighty well spare both of them." "Under the construction of police regulations as given by the courts," said Judge Badger In rendering his decision, "the aldermen have such broad powers that sha11 hold this ordinance valid and let the defendant take an appeal so the higher courts can pass on the-question." The bond for Cooper was fixed at.

$50, and it was given by James H. Young. Si White Man Assaulted His Mother Walter Daniels, a white mechanic nere, was tried before Judge Badger oa-the charge of assaulting his own; mother, Mrs. Mary Daniels. It was shown by the witnesses that he knocked her down and kicked her.

However, Daniels was thoroughly penitent -when he appeared in court yesterday, and deeply regretted what he had done. Ha said that he had been on a spree and had no recollection of the affair, and with tears in his eyes swore that thi should be the last time. His mother also begged for him and tried in every way possible to minimize what her son had done, though she may have been in pain- even then from the bruises she received at his hands. Judge Badger fined Daniels $19 for the assault and warned him that If he appeared in court for any such crime again he would certainly go to the roads. Winnie Parker, a negro girl, had a scrapping humor Thursday night.

She assaulted Bettie Davis and then proceeded to do up Kemp Plummer. She was fined In each case and since she cannot pay It seems likely that she will have a term in the workhouse. INJUNCTION SUGGESTED Why Registration Books Were Purged by the Aldermen There was a rumor on the streets Thursday evening and yesterday that some action in a legal way might be taken to prevent calling the election on dispensary or saloons on the ground that the aldermanic committee had no right to change the registration books In ascertaining the number of qualified voters registered. "The fact was cited, by those who taK this view, that two years ago when dispensary election was called the were not purged. However, two yea.

ago there had been a new reglstratJ In the preceding month and th bo' were correct. This year there had bee no new registration, many on the book having moved away or died or removei to other precincts and remained on the books of both precincts, hence it waa held that it was necessary to revise the books in order to find out the real number of bona fide voters registered in the city.

W. Grove Three Wotten Gotten Away From Disreputable House Two Baptized at Baptist Tabernacle YesterdayThird One Reinstated. Mother Refused to Give up Child for Care in Asylum Threa women rescued from a disreputable house in East RaJeigh were baptized at Tabernacle Baptist church yesterday morning 9 o'clock. Tickets were procured for them and for one other and they were, sent in the care of Rev. Sylvester Betts to New York to be placed in a house of refuge, The third woman was not baptized for the reason that she was a Baptist before her and on profession of her determination to a better life and declaration that she considered herself a Christian she was reinstated into church fellowship.

It was intended to send along with the party a little six year old child, daughter of the keeper of th house. In fact, announcement was made in The Post yesterday that the child had been gotten away from the house by the consent of its mother, and that it would be placed in an asylum at Alexandria. But when r. Mas see and his colaborers in the rescue work sent around to the house yesterday morning for the little girl they were told that they could not get So the woman still has her little daughter The house which the three women were induced to leave and where the little girl still remains is kept by Pauline Thornton at the corner of Davie and Green street. It was Thursday evening that Rev.

J. C. Massee, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, and a party of colaborers went to the house of the Thornton woman to make an effort to see some of the inmates who had sent word that they were desirous of talking to them about leading a better life. The party had attempted to gain admittance before and were turned away'by the Thornton woman. This however, they pressed inside the dcor-iaefore the woman found out they were and then they declined to get out although they were ordered to do so.

They passed on through the house, and from room to room' despite the protest of the matron until they found the parties they sought. After a conference and prayer service the three women who agreed to leave were put in a carriage and driven to the home of the pastor where they, spent the night. Then yesterday morning there was the administering of the ordinance of baptism and the sending of the women away to New York under the chaperonage of Rfev. Sylvester Betts. The president Of the Rescue Circle was at the depot to see the party safely off.

Then there were also Dr. Massee, Assistant Pastor W. Ham of Tabernacle church, Rev. R. J.

Batemaji and Rev. Alvin Betts, who were interested in g-elttlng together the funds for the, tickets. A CHARGER FOR ROOSEVELT Mr. McMackin Suggests That He Ride to the Fair Grounds Mr. W.

C. McMackin has a suggestion to make regarding the entertainment of President Roosevelt upon his visit here October 19th of fair week. Mr. McMackin is an expert when it comes to horse flesh and has for years been director of the races at the fair. Mr.

McMackin understands that the president is devoted to horseback riding and his idea is, if it meets the president's approval, to have him ride to the fair grounds, escorted by hundreds of mounted men. If this plan can be carried out Mr. McMackin has chosen a magnificent charger he will tender th3 president for this ride. me MAY BE INDICTED Many Guardians, Administrators and Executors Have Not Reported At the recent term of criminal court here Judge W. Allen charged the grand jury positively to indict guardians, executors and administrators who have failed to make returns to the clerk of the superior court.

There are a great many of these in Wake county. Some of them perhaps have not had a ent to pass through their hands and therefore they may not deem it necessary to make a report. However, this is- not the case and even if they have nothing on hand and do not send in reports as required they are in danger of criminal prosecution. Clerk of the. Court Russ is very anxious to save these guardians, administrators and executors such an expense and.

inconvenience. Hence he is now writing each of them a letter. Yesterday ,150 of these notes were sent out. One of them reads as follows: "You have failed to make your re turns as administrator to this office, as the law requires. The grand juries are examining into this matter closely at eaoh term of the criminal court and presenting those, who have not strictly "complied with the law.

"The September term soon be on us. Make your report at once, and avoid being presented at that term of the court." Mrs. John C. Miller Dead Mrs. John Miller, wife of Prof.

Miller of the faculty of the State School for the Deaf at Morganton, died there yesterday from pneumonia. She leaves a husband and three small children-Her husband is the son of Dr. J. F. Irregular Opening Followed by Pronounced Selling TURNED PRICES DOWN Strength in Spots Relieved the Situation to Some ExtentDeclines Became General With Rallies Here and There Better Tone Prevailed Later in the Day New York, Aug.

The United States Steel stocks also opened a fraction lower than last night and Kansas and Texas preferred lost a point.
